IMPROVEMENT 1N SEATS PoR' VEHICLES.

The Schedule referred to these Letters Patent and part of the same.

provement in Seats for Vehicles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof', which will enable others skilledin v the art to make and use `the same, reference being had Lto thcA accompanying drawing forming p art of this specication. i

Figure 1 representsmy improved seat and a modication of the same, as attachedto abuggy-frame.

Figure 2 is a detail sectional view of the same,

taken through the line a; :11, fig. 1. f

, Y .Similar letters of reference indicate' corresponding "parte My invention has for its object to furnish au improvedV seat for buggies, carriages, cars, and other lvehicles, so that, when `in use,4 they may beeasier for the rider; `and Y @It consists in suspending the seat from the seatframe, as hereinafter more fully described.

A represents the frame ofthe vehicle. B and() are theseatfframes, from which the seats D and E are suspended.

The seat-frame `Bis made close at its` upper part,

` fbeing similar to the seat-frame of a sulky.

The seatframeO is'made open at its upper `part,

` as shown in fig. 1, being similar to a doublesleighrunner.

F are crank-irons, the lower parts of which are pivl i oted to the bottom of theseat D, and their ends bent upward, and arepivoted to the top side-bars ofthe frame B, so that the seat may oscillate or swing backward and forward, while being-held all the time in a horizontal position.

In the case of the seat E, the crankfarms G are rigidly attached at their upper ends to the seat E, and their lower ends project forward and rearward, fshown in iig. 1.

In this case the oscillation is obtained from the bars H, the lower ends of. which are pivoted to the ends of the crank-arms G, and their upper ends t'o the upper ends of the bars of the open seat-frame G. By this construction, the seat may oscillate forward and back, andlaterally, and will be all the time held in a -I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat-V ent- The seat-frames C 0, made open on their upper sides, and connected with theA seat-supporting crankirons Gr G, as shown and described, for the purpose specified.
